The inclination angle of the side surface of the cross-sectional shape of the IDT electrode 2 is set to be in a range from 85 degrees to 65 degrees. When the angle is 85 degrees or more, particles having a small energy flying when the insulating film 7 is formed by sputtering or CVD only adhere to the side surface of the IDT electrode 2, resulting in poor adhesion. When the angle is set to 65 degrees or less, the particles having high energy and flying vertically are mainly formed to form the insulating film 7 and have excellent adhesion. Since the capacitance is determined, if this width is to be formed as designed, the width of the electrode formed by photolithography must be reduced, which requires more expensive equipment with high resolution. This is disadvantageous in terms of cost.

I do. At this time, if dry etching is performed in a gas atmosphere in which N 2 is further added to Cl 2 or BCl 3 , N 2 does not chemically react with a metal material or a resist film because N 2 is an inert gas. Irrespective of the above, it has an ionic etching action.

In a surface acoustic wave device including an electrode and an insulating film formed on a propagation path of the surface acoustic wave of the IDT electrode and the piezoelectric substrate, a cross-sectional shape of the IDT electrode has a trapezoidal shape with a wide lower surface.
